EventBridge Integration Planning

⬅️ Back to Project Overview

AWS EventBridge Integration Planning

1. Objectives & Use Cases​

  • What business or technical problems are you solving with EventBridge?
  • List the main workflows or scenarios (e.g., trigger ML pipeline on S3 upload, route security alerts, orchestrate data quality checks).

2. Event Sources​

  • Which AWS services or custom applications will emit events?
    • (e.g., S3, Lambda, Glue, SageMaker, custom microservices)
  • For each source, what event types will be published?

3. Event Targets (Consumers)​

  • Which services or resources will consume/process these events?
    • (e.g., Lambda functions, Step Functions, SNS, SQS, other AWS services)
  • For each target, what action should be triggered?

4. Event Buses​

  • Will you use the default event bus, or create custom event buses for domain separation?
    • (e.g., data-events, security-events, ml-events)
  • If custom, what is the purpose of each bus?

5. Event Rules​

  • What rules will you define to filter and route events?
    • (e.g., S3:ObjectCreated → DataQuality Lambda, SageMaker:ModelDeployed → Notification)
  • What event patterns or filters will you use?

6. Event Schema & Contracts​

  • For custom events, define the schema (fields, types, required/optional).
  • Will you use the EventBridge Schema Registry for governance?

7. Security & Permissions​

  • Which IAM roles need permission to put events on the bus?
  • Which roles can consume events?
  • Any sensitive data or compliance considerations?

8. Cross-Stack Integration​

  • Which stacks will need to reference the event bus or rules?
  • What outputs (CfnOutput) and imports (Fn.import_value) will be required?

9. Observability & Error Handling​

  • How will you monitor event delivery, failures, and dead-letter queues?
  • What CloudWatch metrics, logs, or alerts are needed?

10. Testing & Validation​

  • How will you test event flows (unit, integration, end-to-end)?
  • How will you validate event contracts and permissions?
